Past and Present Research Systems of Green Chemistry

Biography

Diego Gamba obtained his B.Sc from UNAL – Bogotá in 2004, then his master degree working on a new tandem reaction ring closing/fluorination of allylamines in superacid medium, supervised by Dr. Sebastien Thibaudeau in 2006. Later he moved to the Ecole Polytechnique-Palaiseau and joined the group of Dr. Joëlle Prunet where he finished his PhD working on diastereoselective synthesis of 1,3-diols and Pummerer reaction oriented to the synthesis of nucleoside analogues. After one year of postdoc with Prof. Thorsten Bach, he moved back to Colombia in 2011 and joined the Chemistry Department of the Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá where he started his independent. His research interests are total synthesis of natural products and the development of new organic transformations using biological and organic catalyst.
